I am super excited! I went to see the doctor for my consultation today. She confirmed with another doctor said which was that to look like a 20-year-old I needed to have a breast left. However I do not want these cars. So I am going to go ahead and get an augmentation which I was able to schedule for next week because Dr. Lim is amazing! I am super excited and I wonder if you all could help me decide about size. I am leaning towards size D.

Congrats on your upcoming appointment, so exciting! I was borderline needing a lift, but decided that I would just go with implants and do a little later if I needed. I am happy with just the implants. Size can be so difficult to determine. My goal was a full C cup. I got 295 cc and I ended up being a 34 DD. I know women who have gotten a much larger implant and only came out with a D cup. I think it all depends on your body type and what you start with. If would have went with less cc, I don't think it would've filled with the girls up enough. And while I ended up with a larger bra size than I had hoped for, I am happy with the results and they look like a reasonable size for my body. Keep us posted, I'm excited for you.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. At the end of the appointment Dr. Lim said she thought I would be happy, and it was also nice that she did not try to pressure me into anything but let me make my own decision. I'm getting nervous as the day approaches and I'm pretty bummed about not being able to work out for 6 to 8 weeks.

Hello! I am 8 weeks post. Started a 32A, and as of now... probably 32DD with 400CC HP Mentor Implants. My original "goal" was C cup, no bigger, no smaller. Since surgery I'm so happy with my results!! Have you tried sizers or made rice sizers at home yet?

Hi! So tomorrow I go in for my preop appointment at which time I will try on different sizes. I am leaning towards trying to get to a double D. My sister tells me that with that size you can still buy bras off the rack that are really pretty and you don't have to go into the specialty purchasing required by larger breasts.

I don't think all of my reply went through. I was also curious as to how you are feeling eight weeks after your operation. Do you have pain or tingles in your breasts? Did they feel like a part of your body now? Are you able to exercise and move about normally? Thanks so much for sharing your experience!

You're welcome! That's what I'm here for ;) I don't exercise, as much as I should. My PS gave me the go ahead as soon as my bruising healed tho. I do still have random pains and more like twinges in them. Completely tolerable and no need for any type of meds tho. They definitely feel like they belong, I know where my implants are and can move them freely (which is a good thing lol). I'm absolutely in love with them! My PS told me at my sizing appt that the 400 would give me a 32C, man was he wrong ;) haha!

One MAJOR piece of advice I can give for post op is...do not buy too soon. It's torture not being able to go to VS and completely splurge, but I had gift cards for there so I went at 6 weeks post. I should have bought bralettes, but instead I bought wired fitted bras and I don't fit them anymore!

Just like the other 2 comments below, i too was going for a full C. I started with 34A. 149 lbs 5'6 I got 400cc HP natrelle silicon Now i measure 34DD which just by looking at them, you wouldn't think they're so big. They still look like a C or D to me, but I'm beyond happy with my girls and sizes. Good luck in chosing your size. Also trust your dr. With the measurement and recommendation

We sound fairly similar in size and your results sound like what I am looking for. It's so great to hear that you are happy with how they came out. I will listen to the doctor tomorrow I do notice that in there before and after pics people have a very natural look and are not large. I do think I am leaning towards DD. When did you get your breasts done and how was the recovery period?

Wish pics!!! This is a before and after pic showing the work of my doc and to me the boobies look almost the same as mine but Dr. Lim said mine are more saggy. I would achieve the best results with a lift but I'm trying to avoid that scar.
